I sat in the office, going through the piles of papers that had been stuck on the desk for me in the last few days that I was gone. I sighed, feeling overwhelmed and hating that I suggested that we had this party. It was mostly more suggestions from pack members and requests.I opened the mind link and contacted Ava. At first, she was hesitant, but I knew she had no way to fight the luna aura that would immediately possess her. "Can you come to the pack house, the office?""Yes, Luna," she immediately responded.I had left the room while Alpha went out with my mom and Clarion to get some things for the pack. My mind wavered towards Savanna for a second, and I wondered if she was doing okay. I knew I shouldn't care about her, but I already beat her enough to the point where I was satisfied. But a part of me could not help but wonder if her child was safe for her to have done something like that. I felt it was desperation of a mother. I mean, my mom literally brought me to this pack not
"I wouldn't mind, to be honest." Alpha quickly called back. "Alpha.""Alright," he sighed, giving up in defeat. "Why don't you wait for me to come back, then we can go together?""We will be fine, Alpha. Relax.""Okay, I have to go now. Everybody is wondering why I'm not focused on the meeting. I'm trying my best to be attentive, but you know you easily take all of my attention."I almost laughed at his comment. "OK, I love you, and I'll see you tonight.""So where's Dexter going to get a car from?" I focused my attention back on Ava after ending the mindlink. "I don't think we're even allowed to own cars in here. I mean, I barely see wolves owning phones.""Dexter is one of the people that study in the college dominated by humans, so I'm pretty sure he has access and permission to drive a car.""Oh.""Yeah, he's studying to be a doctor, which is a very useful occupation when it comes to the pack, so it's very encouraged."I smirked at her. "You speak so highly of Dexter. Are you sur
I bumped into Ari and Sam on my way to a second dressing room. “Oh, we were just going to wait in front of the dressing room we agreed to, but we got you the best outfit ever.”I stared at their hands that were packed full with dresses and raised one eyebrow. “Um, which one of these is the outfit?”“I guess we just have to find out.” Sam clapped her hands, “but I’m certain they’ll all be flattering on you. She looked over my shoulder, frowning a little. Where’s Ava?”“Yeah, she’s busy looking through some things with Dexter. No worries, she’ll join us. Come on.” I headed to the dressing room, and they came after me, shrugging their shoulders without thinking so much of Dexter and Ava.I handed the pieces of clothes I had found and picked out to Sam while trying on the pieces they had selected for me. The first one was a red gown that seemed like it was made for my body. It was perfect with shiny stones, thin straps, and it hugged my curves in all the right ways. The only problem was t
Alpha groaned in his sleep as I pulled out the drawers to try to find my makeup items."Can you be more quiet?" He requested in a gentle tone."Sorry," I said, grabbing a few of my makeup purses and heading back to my old room so I could give him more time to sleep. I knew the event was by seven, but there was no way I would be ready if I started thirty minutes before that.I had barely sat in front of the dressing mirror when my mum walked into the room carrying a few bags with her.“Mum, what brings you here? I didn't expect to see you this early in the morning.""I figured you would want to get ready earlier, so I brought you some things to eat," she said with a smile.We hadn't fully discussed since I told her about the child. “Oh, thank you, you really didn't have to bother.""Do you feel okay?"I chuckled. "Mum, I'm fine. You're acting like I'm the first person to get pregnant. Relax."She went to stand behind me to assist with my hair, brushing it up while I put on some makeup.
"Oh my goodness, what are you doing here?" He was the last person I expected to see. I had completely forgotten about Cole; it was almost like he had been erased from my memory with everything else to do back with my old pack."Wow, you look so amazing," I told him, breaking out of my thoughts."I was just about to say the exact same thing about you. You look spectacular. Wow, after the attacks and everything went crazy, I contacted my aunt. She is a member of this pack because she married her husband, who is related to the alpha of the pack. So, they let me move in. They took me in as a pack member. I came here with my mom, and I've been here ever since. What about you?""Well, I also moved to a pack, Darkblood Park.""What? No way. I heard they never accept any wolf into their pack. They are the most secure pack in the territory.""Yeah, I'm the luna of that pack now.""What?! There's no way, you're kidding!""I'm absolutely not.""Wow, it's so good to see you again.""Really good t
Friday came a lot sooner than I had expected.It felt like a lot, knowing that the long-awaited game night was finally tomorrow.I had spent a lot of my time planning with Ava, Ari, and Sam. I had decided to set the three of them up as my planning committee, discarding the rest of the people that had volunteered in the first place."All right, Luna, let's go through all of the planning for tomorrow just to be certain that nothing goes wrong," Sam suggested, holding out a list that I had given to her.It wasn't even that hot in the office, but I was sweating from how stressed I was.I nodded in agreement."First of all, we are going to introduce all the packs that are present. After that, we'll section the activities into youth, grown adults, and like you said, some people will be there to guide the children so they can have fun while involving themselves in children’s games," Sam read out."Okay, and Ava, are you certain that everyone got the invitation? Did anybody turn anything down
The next day, most of our guests started to show up in the morning. I didn't think about how I would have to greet each and every single one of them individually. I had a smile plastered on my face the entire day, to the point where my cheeks started to hurt, but I had to keep it up. Thankfully, Alpha was there to assist me. Most of the packs kept singing praises of how privileged they were to be invited to the sacred Dark Bloodpack for such an event, and I truly felt on top of the world with all of their compliments, but still.I was in a casual sweatshirt and denim shorts, sitting in the events room to check how things were going with the girls when Alpha pulled my hand and led me behind one of the walls of the packhouse. There was barely any space, so I was basically pressed against his chest while he had his hands pinned above my head."You're stressing yourself too much for my liking. Don't you have people that can do these things for you?" he asked. "You’re Luna, for a reason. Y
I immediately pushed Cole away from me and turned to face Alpha. "It's not what it looks like at all, I promise."I was yet to process it myself, but I just wanted to defend whatever thought he could be happening.I expected him to go on and start throwing punches at Cole, but instead, he turned around and walked away from us. It was the first time I would see him react that easily to someone kissing me. And it was even annoying to think that this was not the first time it was happening.I immediately tried to follow him, attempting to grab his wrist, but he avoided my touch."Alpha, I..." He put his hand up to stop me from talking and just continued to walk away.I stood there, in shock, and then frowned deeply. I turned around to look at Cole , and he was scratching the back of his neck nervously. "I am so sorry. I don't know what came over me. It's probably the alcohol-"Not giving him a chance to finish explaining himself, I slapped him hard across the face. "Have you lost your d
